From eyewitness accounts of furniture moving on its own to the media frenzy that drew famed investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, this conversation explores the critical question: Was it all an elaborate hoax or genuine evidence of paranormal activity? Discover what really happened on Lindley Street—and whether there might still be more to this story than meets the eye.
